The 13 essays focus on the two separate but related themes of the settlement, society, and government of the English colony in medieval Ireland in the 12th and early 13th centuries; and the varied interactions between the colony and the subjugated Gaelic Irish society. The topics include tenure and locality, balancing the concerns of church and state, the Irish in County Waterford, and Connacht and the Anglo-Normans. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
